I guess, even in Illustrator CS, there is still no way to do cross-rendering
at print time like in Photoshop, InDesign or Acrobat? The Source selection
seems forever hardcoded at DocumentRGB or DocumentCMYK, and there is no
radio button to allow selecting Proof Setup. Unless I missed something. This
morning when I tried to cross proof an Illustrator RGB document for SWOP on
my inkjet I had no choice but to first convert the document's color mode
from RGB to CMYK. Only then was I able to simulate SWOP's print process on
my inkjet using my choice of RelCol or AbsCol in the Print dialog.
But is that a bad thing ? Is there any point in having an application
render RGB into CMYK before previewing it, if that conversion won't
match the one you will ultimately use before printing ?
By forcing you to explicitly convert to your print device CMYK, you can
then have greater confidence in the preview, since you will send that
CMYK (not some other mysterious CMYK created by a different CMM) to
print.
